** TUESDAY NIGHT Team Ropings - Click here for Info. **

SF Performance Horses seeks to develop quiet, well-rounded, athletic performance horses that are suitable for - but not limited to - team roping, cattle penning, and cowhorse events.  

We aim to sell Performance Horses that will suit their buyer at an honest price.  Our past customers have been satisfied with their purchases and keep in touch for news on our up-and-comers.

History
SF Performance Horses is a subsidiary of SF Ranching, owned and operated by Chris and Ronda Sayers.  The ranch is part of the original homestead, and is over 120 years old.  The original Sayer Farms (hence "SF") was transitioned from the family grain farm to a commercial cattle ranch, allowing our program to expose our performance horses to our commercial and long-horn cattle.

SF Horses
All SF Performance Horses are taught reining basics, put on cattle in the round pen, used around cattle in and out of the arena, have a number of hours spent in the practice pen, and are finished through hauling to their respective events to compete and become seasoned.  Each horse is dewormed and shod/trimmed on a regular schedule, and will also visit the Equine Dentist to start a regular maintenance program.

Facilities
We enjoy a secluded spot with facilities that include:

•  90' round pen for roundpen work

• 120' round pen for working cattle

• 120 x 250' outdoor practice arena

• 3500+ acres for cattle-related jobs (checking fence, moving cattle, treating cattle, etc.)

All SF horses are ridden through the winter months at Sunshine Stables & Arena in a 70 x 150' indoor riding arena.  We use a Buford as a teaching tool for our Team Roping prospects.

About the Owners
After 7 years together, Chris Sayers and Ronda Smith were married in June 2006.  This couple spends their spare time in the practice pen, training and conditioning their horses.

Chris Sayers has a number of trades under is belt.  He is a horse trainer, specializing in starting colts.  He is a journeyman farrier from Oklahoma state.  He has his diploma in Livestock Production from Vermillion College, AB.  He has his Certificates in Horse Breeding, Transported Semen, and Fundamentals of Equine Frozen Semen.  He is a team roper who prefers the Heading side, with a number of trophy saddles and buckles to his name.

Ronda Sayers comes from an equine family, with her parents owning a riding stable - Sunshine Stables & Arena near North Battleford, SK, and with her two older brothers (Shayne & Randy Smith) continuing in the equine industry.  She is a team roper who takes up the Heeling side for her husband.  She is a previous High School Rodeo contestant, and the winner of the Short Go at the Northern Lights Barrel Futurity in Hamiota, MB on a horse she'd trained herself.  She's an educated gal who holds a Bachelor of Commerce, with honours, from Queen's School of Business, Queen's University in Kingston, ON, and currently works as a management consultant for North West Regional College.
